Everyone is talking about cyber attacks, data breaches, and ransomware. But what are the cyber risks NEDs should be focussed on? And more importantly, what are the essential steps to prevent such catastrophic incidents?

Join us on October 10th, 18:00-20:30, in London for a two-part cyber event tailored explicitly for NEDs.

In the first session, an infield CISO will walk you through the essential steps you and your technical teams should implement to reduce and mitigate the risk of the next cyber incident. Following this, there will be a session on effectively communicating risk to your Board and challenging your IT departments to ensure cybersecurity essentials are in place. Actionable takeaways and cheat sheets will be provided.

There will also be an opportunity to network with fellow NEDs.

Join us October 10th.

For the record, you’re not expected to be a cyber expert.

Frankly, that’s our job.

Your role? Advise, lead, and provide independent oversight and judgment. Just as security is a governance function for IT, as NEDs you serve as a governance function for your business.

According to Gartner, 88% of Board members classify cybersecurity as a business risk. And as cybersecurity continues to dominate Boardroom discussions, the need for impartial and informed discussion, knowledge sharing and cyber understanding is crucial.

Enter Assured’s Cyber Council.

The Assured ‘Cyber Council’.

“Cyber threats are increasing in volume, sophistication, and diversity, so keeping up is always a challenge. If the collective awareness among NEDs on a Board is improved, this creates a better overall composition of specialists and generic skills, ultimately making the Board more able to adapt to a range of emerging issues.”

— Correy Voo, Chairman at MIRACL
